WebRTC is the latest superhot topic emerging from Cloud Expo, and emerging from the worlds of open-source development and cloud computing worldwide. The WebRTC mission is deceptively simple: to enable rich, high-quality RTC applications delivered to browsers through JavaScript APIs and HTML5. It is already the result of a few years of dedicated effort by an enthusiastic developer community.

In this WebRTC Power Panel being held Nov. 6 at 7:10 pm at the 1st WebRTC Summit, Nov. 6-7, at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, a distinguished lineup of expert speakers will focus on such topics as:

Panelist BiosRod Apeldoorn is the server-side lead with tawk.com and EasyRTC - the award winning server and client side platform for quickly building WebRTC applications. In the past he's been a teacher, database architect, and software engineer working on web applications.

Cloud Computing & All That
It Touches In One Location Cloud Computing - Big Data - Internet of Things
SDDC - WebRTC - DevOps
Cloud computing is become a norm within enterprise IT.

The competition among public cloud providers is red hot, private cloud continues to grab increasing shares of IT budgets, and hybrid cloud strategies are beginning to conquer the enterprise IT world.

Big Data is driving dramatic leaps in resource requirements and capabilities, and now the Internet of Things promises an exponential leap in the size of the Internet and Worldwide Web.

The world of SDX now encompasses Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDCs) as the technology world prepares for the Zettabyte Age.

Add the key topics of WebRTC and DevOps into the mix, and you have three days of pure cloud computing that you simply cannot miss.

Delegates will leave Cloud Expo with dramatically increased understanding the entire scope of the entire cloud computing spectrum from storage to security.

Cloud Expo - the world's most established event - offers a vast selection of 130+ technical and strategic Industry Keynotes, General Sessions, Breakout Sessions, and signature Power Panels.
